A strange miracle! 19 temples built by cutting the same mountain all were stunned to see works of art

Masroor Rock Cut Temple, often called ‘Ellora of Himachal Pradesh’, is a good example of the ancient Indian rock -cut architecture. The temple complex is located in the Kangra Valley of Himachal Pradesh and is of the 8th century and is committed to Hindu gods, Lakshmana and Sita. The Masroor Temple is made of the same sandstone rock and is a significant example of the early medieval Northern Indian temple architecture. There are 19 rock -cut temples in the temple complex, arranged around a rectangular water dam, reflecting the complex carving of temples in its cool water. It is built in the style of the 18th century. The architectural style of the Masroor Temple is influenced by both Nagar and Dravidian traditions, but it is unique in its execution. The outside of the temple is decorated with fine broad sculptures and complex carving that depict different gods, mythological scenes and flower patterns. Despite its grandeur, the temple is somewhat isolated. It has been facing natural disasters for centuries, including the devastating earthquake in 1905 Kangra, which caused widespread damage. The most beautiful aspect of the Masroor Rock Cut Temple is its establishment. It is located at an altitude of about 2500 feet and offers a panoramic view of the surrounding Dhauladhar series. The tranquil atmosphere of the temple, in collaboration with its rich historical background, is considered the cultural heritage of Himachal Pradesh. In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and promote the Masroor Temple. For those who come here, the temple not only provides spiritual experience, but also takes it an era when artistry and dedication is woven into stones. This early medieval Northern Temple is a significant example of architecture. There are 19 temples built in the temple site. The idols of Lord Shri Ram and Mother Sita sit in this temple. However, these temples were damaged in the earthquake in Kangra in 1905. There are still a few temples here and it received heritage status. A large number of tourists visit here. The Department of Archeology takes care of them and may only come into the temple site after the purchase of tickets. Share this story -tags
